* AuthorsSavingThrow: Much like what ''WesternAnimation/StarWarsTheCloneWars'' did for the Toydarians, this episode does for the Tusken Raiders. Previous versions of the Tusken Raiders have been criticized for being [[SpaceJews sci-fi versions of Middle Eastern and Indigenous stereotypes]]. Here they are shown as being reasonable once the Mandalorian is willing to negotiate with them. Later episodes and ''Series/TheBookOfBobaFett'' would continue to add more depth to the Tuskens.

* RetroactiveRecognition: The Tusken Raider Scout #1 who negotiates by sign with Mando is played by Creator/TroyKotsur, who also [[https://www.dailymoth.com/blog/deaf-actor-troy-kostur-in-star-wars-the-mandalorian created a Tusken Sign Language for the series]]. Three years after ''The Mandalorian,'' Kotsur won the 2022 Best Supporting Actor Oscar for Film/CODA2021.

* LikeYouWouldReallyDoIt: Nobody believed that Fennec would die when a mysterious figure (later revealed to be Boba Fett himself) shows up.

Added DiffLines:

* NarmCharm: The Mandalorian kills another bounty hunter by blowing up his fighter after delivering a PreMortemOneLiner. The bounty hunter screams in an over-the-top manner as his ship explodes around him, with his screams echoing even after he should have been vaporized. It wouldn't be out of place in a cheesy 1980s action movie, but since the series aesthetically feels like a 1980s film, it feels fitting.

* EpilepticTrees: There was speculation that Creator/MingNaWen was cast as a live-action version of Ursa Wren. Further supporting this is that writer Chris Yost also wrote episodes of ''WesternAnimation/StarWarsRebels'' where Ursa was present. This one wound up jossed, however, when a trailer revealed she's actually playing an assassin named Fennec Shand.

* NarrowedItDownToTheGuyIRecognize: Double subverted. Fennec Shand is played by Creator/MingNaWen, so viewers familiar with her would assume she'll be more than a one-episode bounty. Instead, just as it seems she's managed to trick Toro into freeing her, he coldly guns her down. It's then played straight at the end, when a shadowy figure in a cape approaches her (dead?) body in the desert.

* NarrowedItDownToTheGuyIRecognize: Subverted. Fennec Shand is played by Creator/MingNaWen. Naturally, it makes sense when she manages to trick Toro into freeing her so she can pose a greater threat to the Mando rather than just being a one episode bounty. But he doesn't free her, instead shooting her and downing her instantly. And then played straight at the end, when Toro is dead and a shadowy figure in a cape rescues Fennec.
